Short communication: Varroa destructor re-invasion dynamics during autumn and winter in Apis mellifera colonies from a temperate climate
Infestation with Varroa destructor compromises the survival of Apis mellifera colonies, especially during the winter season. In order to prevent colony losses due to the presence of Varroa mites, determination of the infestation level and the application of autumn treatment is highly recommended. Ho...

| description | Infestation with Varroa destructor compromises the survival of Apis mellifera colonies, especially during the winter season. In order to prevent colony losses due to the presence of Varroa mites, determination of the infestation level and the application of autumn treatment is highly recommended. However, autumn reinvasion by inter-apiary and intra-apiary horizontal transmission might threaten the control strategies. Drivers like the infestation level of untreated colonies, the presence of bee brood during late autumn and the colonies disposition within the apiary might explain at least partially the re-invasion rates of treated colonies during autumn and winter. A total of six apiaries with five colonies were distributed within a 30 km radius. Colonies were arranged within each apiary following a circular or a lineal disposition. Twenty-four of the thirty colonies were treated during late summer against V. destructor and one colony per apiary remained untreated. The phoretic Varroa infestation and the adult bee population, brood area and nutritional reserves in the colonies was estimated before and after treatment and then for the next four months (late autumn and winter season). In this study, a model for the V. destructor re-invasion dynamics during autumn and winter in honey bee colonies from a temperate climate was fitted. According to these results, the re-invasion probability is higher for lineal disposition of the colonies that also present a higher amount of brood availability during late autumn and winter. Beekeeping practical implications are discussed in the context of an Integrated Pest management approach. |
